Stanford Faculty Against the War
We represent a group of Stanford faculty members who have been drawn together
by our shared opposition to the ongoing war in Iraq and the prospect of new
conflicts in the region.
We maintain a mailing list
(faculty-against-the-war@lists.stanford.edu).

no further meetings in the fall.
We were one of the sponsors for a panel on war crimes by the Bush
administration in early May:
Speaking the Unspeakable
Is the Bush Administration
Guilty of Torture and War Crimes?
Thursday, May 4, 7:30pm
William Hewlett Teaching Center, Room 200
Stanford University
SPEAKERS

A PDF copy of the flier for this panel is available
here.
This spring, we hosted a visit by the 1960s activist David Harris,
former stanford Student Body President and founder of Resistance.
We also organized two open meetings to build broader community
participation against the war.
In past years, we collected articles about the war from a variety of
sources. A list of those resources is available
here.
In the time leading up to the start of the war in 2003, Stanford Faculty
Against the War engaged in the following activities:
- Sponsored a Stanford Daily ad encouraging students to attend the
march in San Francisco on October 26, 2003
(PDF text of ad)
- Participated in several teach-ins and panels on U.S. foreign policy
- Invited David Harris, former Stanford student-body president and
lifelong activist, to talk about his experiences organizing on campus
against the Vietnam War
- Cosponsored several events and speakers
- Assembled a list of materials on Iraq
